1947 Map of Mt Holyoke

About this map

The Holyoke Range and the Mt Tom Range dominate this mid-century survey, creating a dramatic natural divide between the Connecticut River Valley settlements. In the shadow of Mt Holyoke, the landscape transitions from the academic grounds of Amherst College in the north to Mt Holyoke College near South Hadley in the south. The Connecticut River winds through the western portion of the map, carving distinctive features like the Oxbow and the agricultural lands of Hockanum Flat.
